I have a Fermi gpu laptop and this project would finally make reclocking work on it, but is the code and its patches safe or malicious? I unfortunately don’t know C and thus cannot audit the code myself, so I would appreciate if someone would check this.

Thanks, in advance. :heart:

As a Arch user as well I see nothing in the PKGBUILD evil. :wink:
